[edit] Work
Their current work involves rethinking economy and re-visioning economic development. They and the community economies collective draw on political economy, poststructuralism, feminism, and ongoing community-based research to pursue three major research directions:
- Producing a language of the diverse economy that highlights the variety of transactions, forms of labor, class relations, types of enterprise, ecological relationships, and development dynamics in contemporary economies
- Generating narratives, models and projects of non-capitalist and alternative capitalist development
- Constructing and strengthening community economies in place through local action research.
